THE MORKING NEWS: THURSDAY, MAY 17,1900.
SANFORD TO JACKSONVILLE.
Some of the Improvements Made
Along the Route.
Jacksonville, Fla., May 15.—A trip by
rail from Sanford to Jacksonville yester
day furnished an excellent opportunity to
note the progress of recuperation in orange
culture, and also what crops have been
cultivated since the orange groves were
frost bitten.
Coming out of Sanford, and when near
the Monroe station, made famous by tho
terrible express “hold-up” of a few years
ago, the truck farms attract attention,
especially the big field’s of choice celery
and lettuce. A side track has been put in
at this point so that car shipments are
made direct from the farms. The men now
in this business were formerly orange
growers, but some of them huve given up
that Industry entirely.
At the old Enterprise junction the train
made no stop, and the depot showed
marked signs of abandonment. And yet
it used to be a lively place before the
Plant System’s purchase of the main line.
Now the East Coast Railroad runs a train
into Sanford from Titusville, and the
Plant System makes its transfer of East
Coast passengers at the Orange City Junc
tion of the Flagler System.
At Beresford, another new departure is
seen. Instead of changing cars there for
DeLand the plant System has put a neat
depot and platform at the DeLand Junc
tion, a mile or more below Beresford, aiul
all transfers tiro now’ made there, thus
saving some three miles of travel.
At Bereeford, years ago known as Alex
ander’s Landing, on Lake Beresford, there
used to be *ome of the finest orange groves
in the State, but to-day nothing is left in
sight but a stunted new growth two or
three feet high. However, quite a number
of crates of choice lettuce w’ere shipped
from that station by express yesterday.
For many miles large deserteui and di
lapidated packing houses gave evidence of
the former existence of thrifty orange
groves. Some growers are seeking to re
new' their groves, and at Como, Pomona
and Sisco anew start of thrifty yourg
growth has already been made, but it will
be many years before the deserted pack
ing house will be reopened, granting that
we have no more destructive freezes.
In many of the young groves vegetable
crops are being cultivated between the
rows of trees, while there are also many
thrifty truck farms scattered abbut. In
some sections cattle raising has become
quito an industry, especially at Denver.
Corn fields are plentiful everywhere, and
around Pearson the orange groves show
the most rapid recuperation, although the
trees are quite email.
At Satsuma Heights and Palatka the cy
press lumber mills and factories are quite
extensive, and give steady employment to
many people. Smaller, mills and turpen
tine stills are to be found all along the
route, and these, with farming and vege
table growing, give employment and ready
cash to many persons once dependent
upon orange culture.
Glimpses of the Sr. Johns river, which
the train crossed twice, as w’ell as of sev
eral creeks, revealed the rapid recupera
tion of the much dreaded water hyacinth.
Curves in the river show large accumu
lations. while some of the creeks are en
tirely covered. It will not be long before
navigation will be Impeded hjy this pest.
CROPS AROUND CANDLER.
Faith In tile Orange Groves—Other
New* of Interest.
Candler, Fla., Muy^.—'The digging of th>
Irish potato crop is now in progress and
the yield is very good. On the highlands
the late heavy rains did no damage, but on
lowland they have rotted the potatoes
badly. Corn is late and the budworm is
doing much damage. The acreage planted
in cototn is far in excess cf last year, and
nearly every place visited by the Morning
News corerspondent there is a good stand,
but the plants are very backward on ac
count of the Cool rights. Sweet potatoes,
peas and sugar-cane look well.
Rev. Dr. Paris, pastor of the Presby
terian Church, left yesterday to spend the
summer at his old home, Bellefontaine, 0.,
with hopes of improving his hexlth, which,
for the past two or three months, has br-n
very poor. Rev. J. L. Morris of Waldo
will fill his place here and at Lake Weir
for the summer.
Hail Bros., the extensive turpentine op
erators, have completed their tramroad
from their works to the depot here and are
shipping large quantifies of naval stores
daily.
T. C. Hall of Hall Bros, has purchased
the ten-acre orange grove of E.
M. Moore of Brookfield, Mass, ami
wii! combine orange culture with the tur
pentine business. The people here are
working and fertilizing the orange grove*
and, ln spite of the repeated backsets from
severe winters, have faith in orange
growing and believe we shall yet raise
abundant crops of the fruit here.
The blight is playing sad havoc with the
Le Conte pear orchards here. The tre s
bloomed profusely, but the blight killed the
hi,Kim and is now spreading all over the
trees and it seems as if it is only a ques
tion of a very short time when the beau
tiful pear orchards will be entirely ruined.
There will be a full peach crop and many
plums also.
For th# past seven years we have had
very dry seasons and in consequence the
many lakes have fallen to a very low
mark, hut are now rising rapidly and this
is regarded by many as a hopeful slen that
with the filling up of the ponds and lak s
wo will have milder winters in Florida
Not in many years has so much rain fallen
in the spring as has in this.
goiltll Carolina Cotton.
Columbia, S. C., May 16.—Cotton suffered
from the recent cool nights, which caused
it to turn rod. and on sandy lands the
plants nre dying in places. Early planted
cotton has good stands and l* being plowed
and chopped. Recently planted cotton
needs rain to bring it up. Planting is not
finished ovst the western portions. Some
complaints of grassy fields, continue, but
to a less extent than last week. Some
fields have been plowed up and replanted
on account of the grass. Sea island cotton
has excellent stands, but needs rain and
warmer weather.

MR. THOMPKINS ON SAVANNAH.
What He Says ef the City’* Trade
anti Enterprises.
D. A. Thompkins in Charloite Observer.
Savannah, Ga., May 4. —This city seems
to be assuming anew activity in the de
velopment of her manufactures and her
commerce. I am told by a citizen, who
seems to •be accurately Informed, that
more than one hundred million dollars
worth of American made products tin I
shipment here through this port to oth r
points in the United States and to foreign
countries. This shows a far better condi
tion of commerce than most people in the
South know about or would naturally sup
pose possible. In addition to these largo
figures representing outgoing commerce.
Col. J. H. Estill of the Morning News,
hus shown me an estimate of the capital
invested in manufactures in Savannah and
I was astonished to find that the aggre
gate exceeded seven million dollars.
The outgoing commerce is largely made
up of cotton, rosin, turpentine, lumber,
pig iron (from Alabama, North Georgia
arid Tennessee), cotton goods and cotton
seed oil. The wharves of the railroad and
steamship companies extend along Hie
river on the Savannah side for a distance
something like five miles. These are ail
new, well constructed and are loaded wdlh
goods many of which are being loaded
irom the trains and onto the shlp3. The
entire wharf and dock system lias been
arranged for the best convenience in bring
ing in goods by rail from all parts of the
South and their economical transfer lo
ships for distribution to other parts of
this and to other countries.
The wharves, docks and warehouses of
the Central Railroad of Georgia are in
the charge of Mr. R. G. Trezevant, who
is the general agent at Syvt\n.vmh of th.e
Central Railroad of Georgia and of the
Ocean Steamship Company. He formerb’
lived in Charlotte, and inquired with inter
est a!out a numberjof people there, Mr.
Caldwell, Mr. Chambers and others. Mr.
Trezevant was busily engaged directing
the loading of a ship with lumber, early
vegetables, canned oysters, cotton and
other goods.
Seaboard Docks anti Wlinrves.
Just across the river from Savannah is
an island. On this island the Seaboard
Air Line people have purchased oil the
river front land 1 lying just opposite Ihe
city. On this river front the Seaboard has
now in process the construction of im
mense docks, wharves and slips The pres
ent appearance of the work would Indicate
that these docks, wharveb and slips, to
gether with the railroad facilities that'are
also being provided, will make as ample
and complete facilities for receiving land
freights and transferring them to ocean
vessels and vice versa, as exists anywhere
in the United States or in tne world. From
appearances there must boas much as two
miles of river front being brought into
order for receiving ships and besides this
frontage proper there are a number of
Immense slips being cut into the Island,
the intervening ground between the slip*
being covered with sheds and wharves
into which the trains of cars will run. A
fine steel bridge has been built over the
Savannah river to carry Seaboard trains
of freight over to these immense ocean
shipping facilities. It becomes evident that
the Seaboard must have ocean steamship
connections at Savannah that will accom
modate an Immense business to Justify
these preparations.
Southern Cotton Otl Company.
I was taken to visit the works of the
Southern Cotton Oil Company situatod
on the river Just above the city. Cotton
oil has always been known as one of the
purest and most wholesome of edible and
cooking oils Many physicians ln Boston
now recommend its use to dyapeptics. But
in spite of its favorable points it has ln
the past‘emitted in most cooking pro
cesses an unpleasant odor which brought
upon it the condemnation of good house
wives. At these works hera the processes
of refining have been so improved and ex
ttnded that the refined product has been
brought to a condition in which this ob-
Je-tionahle feature is said to be entirely
absent. This improved oil is now being
put nip in nice bottles for salad oil and
ln cans for cooking purposes w!h the
guarantee that the old faults of cotton
oil have b, en totally eliminated. Besides
putting up cotton oil alone the company
puts up in bottles and cans this same
extra-refined cotton oil blended wlih olive
oil and no one 1 believe could distinguish
the difference between this blended cot
ton and olive oil and the olive oil alone.
This cotton oil plant Is under the man
agement of Mr. 1„ W. Haskell, who has
skilfully developed It Into an Immense
and varied works from a beginning that
was comparatively small something like
len years ago. The organization includes
a progressive analytical chemist, Mr. Geo.
F. Tennille, whose work seems to be an
important factor in the scientific conduct
of the works. The edible and cooking oils
are made by Mr. David Wesson by a pro
ce-s which he discovered or Invented but
keeps secret.
Besides the preduetb n of crude oil from
cotton seed and its ordinary refinlng.Man
ager Haskell has established the manu
facture of soap on a large s-ale, using
the residual products from the oil refin
ery as the basts of this industry. The ca
pacity of the refinery Is 1.200 barrels of
oil per day and the quantity of noap ln
sight n the soap tlepattmo’H v.as, In tile I
language of one of the visiting party,
’ enough to wash the entire Philippine
population.”
The De Soto Hotel, built and owned by
Savannah people, is a model, modern
tourists’ hotel. Its construction has been
of immenre advantage to the city. Char-
lette ought to have one like It. Its cost
was $400,000.
Savannah is regularly and beautifully
laid off. It has many small parks that
were provided for in the plana for the city
that were made before It. was laid out.

She goes, resplendent with the glow
Of a celestial bright halo.
Her willing steps are always turned
Where there are blessings to be earned
In the eternal Master’s name;
She is not one who strives for fame,
For that she scorns and would regard
As In the nature of reward.
'Tis love for mankind guides her feet
To some poor sotterer, where sweet
And sympathetic words and deeds
Bring comfort unto him who ftlSeda
As he lies stricken on the Way—
That rugged one called lffe’B pathway.
Behold "Tho Daughter of be King!”
No common beauty doth she bring;
No ordinary charms to fling,
Like flowers strowti, us she doth move
Upon the blessed path of love.
Now to some lonely hut she comes,
Where want nuJ Squalor have their
homes,
Where suffering and grief reside;
An unseen angel for her gold#,
And, see! we look and Joy to tface
A seraph's smile upon her fape.
If Daughter of the King, then she
Must sister to the angels be.
Blest Charity! Ihou'rt like the bow
Of promise, which the heavens throw
Above us. whose broad span takes in
Pasdan for multitude of stn.
The bow that bids fall’n mankind hop*.
That we nre not condemned to grope
Forever in a deep despair.
The King will lift us up and cheer
Our hearts and beckon tls to see
The way to immortality!
O, beauteous "Daughters of the King!"
Receive the homage that we bring;
For, if His daughters, surely ye
Must sisters of the angels be,
Whom heaven has sent to render less
Man’s suffering and wretchedness!

Headquarters United Confederate Vete
rans, New Orleans. Ln., April 25.—Mrs.
Margaret Howell Jefferson Davis Hayes,
care Mr. J. Addison Hayes, Colotoda
Springs, Col.
■My Dear Mrs. Hayes: As you are aware,
the next Confederate reunion will be held
in the city of Louisville, Ky., near the
spot, and upon the soil which gave birth to
your Illustrious father. It will commence
its session on May 30 next, and continue
for five days, including Sunday, June 3,
which will be the anniversary of the 92d
birthday of your beloved lather, and of
our beloved President.
We propose to devote that day exclusive
ly to memorial services ln honor of our
great President, and of our dear "Daugh
ter of the Confederacy,” and of all of the
Confederate heroes who have passed away,
and are with them to-day around the Great
White Throne.
It is Gen. Gordon's desire, and he but
voices the sentiments of every surviving
Confederate, that you will attend this
great reunion with all the members of
your family, as it Is doubtful If the re
union ever again will be held In the stole
which gave birth to the greatest man
which the South ever produced.
On account of the reunion being held In
the state which gave Mr. Jefferson Davis
to the Confederacy, it will be the.greatest
ever held, and the social functions will lie
upon a more magnificent scale than ever
attempted before. The chivalry and beauty
of the South will gather at Louisville upon
that occasion In. larger numbers than at
any previous reunion, and the Reunion
Committee at Louisville will see to it that
this reunion excels all of those preceding
it.
For thesereasonsit Is Gen. Gordon’s wish,
and again he but voices the sentiments of
the entire South, in requesting that you
permit him to appoint your eldest daugh
ter, Miss Varina Howell Davis Hayes na
sponsor for the entire South.
ln this position, she would be appointed
by him to represent the entire South, and
to rule as queen over the large number of
sponsors and maids of honor who will be
sent there as representatives from every
Southern state.
Gen. Gordon hopes that you will aecedo
to this request of his. and I oan assure
yon that your anqu4*o*noe. when it Is
known that one of the grand daughters of
Jeffiefßon Daria Is to he at Lou lev 11 e ps
the sponsor for the entire South, will oand
a thrill of pleasure through tire hourt at
nT man. woman turn child from tho Wi
se to the Rio Grande, and from the
Ohio to the Gulf.
And allow me. dear Mrs. Hayes, to take
the liberty. In the name of the general
oovntmandlng, and in the name of ell tbe
surviving heroes of tire Booth, to respect
fully urjjr you to attend th'* grand reun
ion.
Your presence there will be pathetlo be
yond description, and will molt the hearts
of the old veteran* and of all true peoples
In every land, os they witness the only
surviving child of the great Southern
chieftain, who is revered and loved as no
hero of ancient or modern times was ever
loved, present to hallow this memorable
reunion, which is to take place almost
Open th* spot which gave him birth; and
standing in the presence of and receiving
the affectionate, heartfelt greeting* of tho
battle-scarred survivors of tho ermte* cf
the South who are so fast fading away,
and whom ydtl will prohubly never meet
again, nnd who followed tho fortunes of
your great father to th* close of his life,
nnd who are still n true to his memory
a* When they were marshaled under tho
starry folds of the banner of the South.
Thousands ln th* city of Louisville will
esteem It one of tho highest honors to en
tertain you and your family while there,
and If you will signify your acceptance, wo
will arrange transportation for yourself,
your good husband and your family.
While on this subject, Mr. Jefferson
Hayes Davis is a member of Gen. Gor
don's staff, with tha rank of colonel, and
of course he must obey orders, or run the
risk of incurring those penalties prescrib
ed by our constitution for disobedience to
his commanding officer; therefore, this
goes to him. not as a request, but In the
nature of an order.
Nothing which will occur ot this gTcat
reunion will give the veterans the exquis
ite p!eesur® and unalloyed happiness in as
greet a degree, as the proud satisfaction
nml pleasure of greeting your dear old
mother and yourself and husband, and the
grandchildren of the man whose memory
we love and revere above that of every
thing else on earth.
May I take th* liberty of begging an
affirmative response at your earliest con
venience. With highest esteem, very sin
cerely and cordially,
George Moorman,
Adjutant General and Chief of Staff.

C. V.New Orleans, La.: My Dear
General; Your kind letter forwarded from
Colorado Springs has Just reached me
here after following mo from one place
to another, and I hasten to answer It.
Mr. Hayes has been very seriously 111
this spring, and our altitude made tt im
possible for him to breathe, so we—that
is, Varina (my daughter), and I—came
here 4o lake care of him. and after some
anxious weeks of careful nursing I have
him looking remarkably well, and we will
probably be able to leave here by May
35. en route for home.
My daughter is deepl” grateful for tile
great honor Gen. Gordon wishes to show
her. nnd Mr. Hayes and I feel much grat
ified, and I hope she will be alwuys
worthy of this great honor. She is very
shy and modest, so that the prospect of
so conspicuous a position is alarming to
her, but if I can go with her, I know
she will do her best to please our dear
people, and I can give hrr confidence. Un
fortunately, Mr. Hayes is not well enough
to go with us, and I fear the authorities
of Jeff's school will not be willing to
have him go, as hIS examinations come
at that time, and his education is a
serious matter, bearing the name he does.
Knowing this, I hope Gen. Gordon will
excuse his involuntary disobedience. My
other son Is too young to take his broth
er’s place, and my second daughter,
Lucy (18 years), has the deepest rever
ence for our dear cause, and longs to
be in Louisville, but as she graduates
this year, it will be Impossible.
I fear my hear mother’s recent serious
illness will make it unwise for her to at
tempt such an exhaustive trip, and the
mental, as well as physical strain, would
be more than she could hear, though I
know her heart and spirit will be with
our dear people.
Thank you, dear General, for the ex
pressions of love and interest you ex
press for my children and myself, also
for your reverence and devotion to my
beloved father’s memory.
Nothing gives me keener pleasure than
honor done to his name, the brightest star
in the rosary of my loved ones.
Hoping you and Gen. Gordon will be
lieve that I will do my best to lie pres
ent at the reunion of our beloved veter
ans, and that my daughter will be only
too proud to serve as sponsor for our
dear country, and is deeply sensible of
the honor.
Mr. Hayes sends hi* regrets, and hopes
ho may be able to go to the next re
union. Being n devoted Confederate, ha
finds It a trial to be unable lo live among
our own people, and loves them only more
fervently. With best wishes for you and
' yours, faithfully always,
Margaret Howell Jefferson Davis Hayes.
MRS. SCHLEY’S ESTATE.
Likely to no Shown larger Than
Wits Snpponcd.
From the New York Tribune.
Frederick S. Flower, of this city. Is on
his way home from Europe, having been
summoned back on aoctount of the death of
Mrs. Emma Keep Schley, at her home.
No. 601 Fifth avenue, on Thursday last.
Mr. Flower is the executor of the will of
Mrs. Schley, and It will not be read until
he Is on hand to do it.
Those In position to know are confident
that the size of The estate left Try Mrs.
Schley will surprise even those who had
km* regarded her as on unusually wealthy
woman. Brokers famliiary with the affairs
of the late Roswell I’. Flower, who was a
brother-in-law of Mrs. Schley and man
aged her estate, assert that there is lltlio
doubt that the estate amounts to nearly
*10,000,000.
Mrs. Schley was Ole widow of Henry
Keep, who was for several years presi
dent of the New York Central Railroad
before the control of that property passed
to the Vanderbllls. He was a remarkably
successful business man, and continued to
amass wealth after he had disposed of
part of his holdings ln the Central. After
his death in 1869. in this city, Mrs. Keep,
ln 1876, married Julge Schley, of Savan
nah, who died In the early eighties. Under
the management of ex-Governor Flower
the Keep estate 1* said to have trebled.
Nothin* definite Is obtainable with refer
ence to th* disposition of tho estate, but
It is probable that practically all of it will
go to Mrs. Schley's only child, Mrs. Fred
erick R. Halsey, of No. 13 West Fifty
third street. It would not surprise the
friends of the family if the will shown!
that Mrs. Schley had turned over a great
deal of her estate to Mrs. Halsey during
her lifetime.
—A letter recently went through tb*
Cincinnati postoffice which had the word
Mansfield written on the envelope several
times. To add to the coincidence it was
delivered to the addresses by a postman
named Mansfield. The missive was mailed
by Roswell Mansfield, of Australia, and
addressed to William Mansfield, Mans
field, O. While It was in transit William
Mansfield moved from Mansfield to Cin
cinnati and opened an office ln Fourth
street. But he left his forwarding address
with the postmaster at Mansfield, and
when tho letter from Roswell Mansfield
to William Mansfield reached Mansfield
the postmaster at Mansfield redirected It
to Cincinnati, where, falling into the
hands of Carrier Mansfield, it found it*
destination.
